The pterygoid process is a bony protrusion located on the sphenoid bone, situated in the cranial base behind the maxilla. Comprising two parts, the lateral and medial pterygoid plates, it serves as attachment points for muscles involved in jaw movement, notably the lateral and medial pterygoid muscles. This anatomical structure plays a crucial role in mastication (chewing) and jaw stabilization. Additionally, it serves as a landmark for various dental and medical procedures, including oral surgeries and imaging studies. The pterygoid process's intricate anatomy and function contribute significantly to the overall mechanics of the temporomandibular joint and surrounding structures. |
